Here are two of the problems for White continuation:
If 27 R-h6 B-e4,
Or if 27 N-g4 N-e8,
(unless something better occurs).
However White is in control with Black reacting,
after the surprise give-up of the Queen.
But the first inexact slip-up by ''hypothetical-Stoltz''-White and
then there are two diagonals for White mating attack
combinations both b2-h7 and a3-f8. It's more reminiscent,
after the simple correction 26 ...K-g8 (!)
of a genuine CV game like Rococo or Falcon, where
it could seesaw either way to completion. However, at slower than postal game rate of play, as here, there should be one determinable outcome best-play I should say of the three this late after sacrifice of Queen.
[Added 15.January.2013: If White cannot dent the three-point lead, when Black Queen can step from the back rank, isolated Rook begins to help.
It is not even convenient for White to pick off the forward f-Pawn. It is understandable that any respectable program rates advantage White, with Black King having no nearby Pawn support. But now by the doubled c-Pawns, d-Pawn may advance towards Black initiative.
Chessist Sam Loyd pony puzzle: don't move the Horse moves anyway: Horse.
Realize that only a Move and half were played, classic-finish Kramnik-best-score-ever Stoltz-Steiner in a week, namely the '26 ...K-g8 27 dxc6 bxc6' by way of revision.]
